"We've got to get these guns off the streets," he said. "They need to bring these guns in and we've got to stop this. I'm making an appeal that the citizens of Selma take these guns...and bring these guns in."

Get out of California fast, build a fence around it before they infest the rest of the nation, I hope they have an earthquake and everyone gets ki......Oh, wait a minute.....

I think I will drive up to Selma and pick up some of those guns which are just lying around on the streets.

Is it possible that the guns are really in the possession of individuals who are then responsible for their actions?

"I just thank the Lord that they didn't get that infant . . ."

Have you had your break today?

[kiki04]

If it is hip, then at least we know that they can't hit the broad side of a barn like that....

bttt

[cyborg]

Don't you live in CA? LOL

[Marauder]

Can you please give me a clue?

It makes as much sense as wearing pants below-the-butt that they have to hold onto with one hand to shoot sideways, run from the cops, or anything else.

Go figger.

He said he'd been in line about 10 minutes

Shocker!

What state is this in? It's helpful to add (state) to the headline where you can't tell from the city name or sometimes from the website source where a place is.

[HairOfTheDog]

Latoya Powell At least there is no need to post photos.

And your point is?

[Joe Hadenuf]

Uh, I was being facetious. Did it get past you?

[cyborg]

no

[BOBWADE]

I wonder if this gun was legal? If it were not legally possessed and the shooter not eligible for gun ownership, then laws would not have changed this a bit and would only disarm the law abiding public. I am also curious as to how many times a gun was used today to thwart a crime?

[Larry Lucido]

Cyborg got it.

And I gotta admit, it was pretty good.

At least there is no need to post photos.

And your point is?

The unspoken point is that lazy minds don't have to do any hard work of actually thinking about an issue. They can just pigeon-hole people and dismiss them easily that way.

[cyborg]

Yeah hehe well it could happen.. but then maybe we'd see the Foxnews helicopter zeroing in on a little houseboat with a flag initaled JH.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yep.... that's what I think too.... Wondered how that poster would put it.

[Cultural Jihad]

As you know, the penchant to prejudice, group-gripe and tribal-justice is a very unConservative, unRepublican, and unAmerican mindset.

[epow]

And your point is?

His point is, well over 50% of the violent crime in this country is committed by members of an ethnic minority which constitutes 13% of the population. And as appears to be the case in this shooting incident, far more often than not the crime is against another member of that same ethnic group.

Posting that isn't racial bigotry, it's just stating a documented statistic. I'm quite sure the responsible, law abiding segment of that minority deplores the situation as much or more than you or I do. Perhaps you prefer that we all mind our politically correct manners and just gloss over unpleasant facts?

"I just thank the Lord that they didn't get that infant," he said.

Yea, shooting adults is a-ok.

What is it with people who think that one type of victim should be elevated above all others? Everybody means something to someone.
